👋 Who I am

I'm a developer who started in sales — not a server room. Seven years at Yell selling digital advertising, then Cisco and Microsoft training before that. In 2009 I taught myself to code and never looked back.

That commercial foundation shapes everything I build. I understand ROI, lead generation, and conversion because I spent years selling those outcomes to businesses. No bootcamp teaches that.
